I know nothing except from what I saw in the previews, and based on that, I can't see it being on the air in a month.

Scrolling by, I thought the show's title was "The Ryan O'Neals." That made me curious for a second.

I remember when this show was called The McCarthys and was on CBS. I like Martha Plimpton, so I'll check it out.

Same with me. She was hilarious on Raising Hope.

I only watched the pilot. The only character I liked was the gay son. I'll watch episode 2 in the morning to see if it improves.

I like Martha Plimpton, and Stan from Mad Men reminds me of Nathan Fillion. But yikes, was this show terrible.

Thank you! I was trying to figure out where I knew him or if he was Nathan Fillion's brother or something.

Watched the first episode, deleted the second after about 5 minutes. Boring.

Same here. I made it about 10 minutes into the second episode. Canceling this show would be a mercy killing.

This was a complete meld of The Middle, Raising Hope and Malcolm in the Middle.

I watched the second episode tonight and I didn't like it. Most of the reviews have been bad. This will probably be getting canned soon. I just hope Martha Plimpton finds a better project.

Wow, I guess I'm in the minority, I only watched the first episode so far but I enjoyed it, and I'm pretty picky when it comes to comedies.

actually I wasn't all impressed with the first two episodes, but this is finally getting into a stride - the most recent episode Matthew Shively really was proving his comedic chops.

I watched the last couple of episodes and it's an improvement over the first two.
